From “Rock to Road” as Sandvik Mining and Construction show product range in conjunction with Volvo Construction Equipment
Sandvik Mining and Construction, in partnership with Volvo Construction Equipment Europe, recently hosted a series of machinery demonstrations and customer events at Eskilstuna, Sweden, from the 4th – 7th of October. The purpose of these events was to demonstrate the synergies of the equipment available from the two companies, and to highlight the advantages customers may enjoy from the mutually compatible product lines. Additionally, Sandvik also launched some exciting new products including two new breakers.
The aim of the "Rock to Road" customer event was essentially for Sandvik to demonstrate the equipment that can effectively work alongside Volvo CE equipment in order to offer a productive and efficient solution for the quarrying and road building industries. Thus the event aimed to provide customers with a "total solutions package" that transcends the one company, with a focus on the needs of customers in the aggregates and road building segments. From a customer perspective this joint approach represents enhanced value and greater benefit, as well as a mature approach to dealing with their specific requirements.
The Sandvik equipment displayed was split into two distinct offerings: Rock to Road and Demolition to Road. This was done in order to demonstrate Sandvik's capabilities with regards to these specific sub segments that are in line with customers own requirements.

State of the art machinery from the Sandvik product ranges were not the only highlights for customers at Rock to Road, as Sandvik's recent Aftermarket developments were given due emphasis. Customers were presented with opportunities to discuss their parts and service requirements at first hand, as well being able to learn just how Sandvik can provide that little more value added benefit.
Highlighting the importance and success of Rock to Road three separate events were held on different days in order to cater for visitors from differing parts of the world. The Global accounts day saw 100 customers in attendance, the European day in excess of 125, and the day that was devoted purely to Swedish visitors saw approximately 400 customers attend.Due to the success of the events CNS management would like to express their thanks to all those from Volvo CE who provided such valuable cooperation in highlighting the synergies of the two offerings.
